Frequently Asked Questions

1. I have been offered a place on a course. What happens next?

When you first apply for a course you will receive an email response from the College outlining the schedule for interview over the coming period and details of how to login to track your application status on the College’s Enrol system. In due course, the College will issue you with an invitation to attend interview by way of email and SMS text. When you have subsequently been offered a place your status will be amended in your Enrol account with the College. At this stage you will be invited to accept the offer by payment of the Registration Deposit in order to secure your place. While we endeavour to communicate with you via email and SMS text, on occasion an email may be blocked by your provider’s SPAM filter. Please remember you can always check any communication from the College by logging on to the Enrol system.

While changes in the status of your application are communicated to you via SMS and email, you can also check your status at any time by logging into the College Enrol system. At application stage, you will have received an email with your username (login-id) and password.

Alternatively, you can enter the email address you included in your original application in the “Forgotten Your Password” section and click Submit to be sent a reminder.

3. I can’t see any emails coming from the College. Is there something wrong?

If you do not receive an email from the College it is likely that your provider’s SPAM filter has blocked our emails. You can check if this is the case by examining your “Spam” or “Filtered” folder. Most email providers provide tools to unblock legitimate emails. For example, see Google’s tool here. Please refer to your email providers help pages for instructions to unblock our emails to you.

Due dates for fees are outlined in the documentation requesting payment which you can find by logging on to the College Enrol system.
